If nothing else...we Maritimers can always talk (and complain) about our weather! We are forecast to get walloped again...another snow storm is a coming! Overnight Friday and most of the day Saturday...25 to 35 cm of snow with 100 km/hr winds. Nothing to see here folks...just a good old fashioned storm. Good we are a hearty bunch!
Storms put people in a food buying frenzy..it's like we are never going to eat again! I think it stems from years ago...when there was not the snow removal equipment we have now....if a storm dumped a vast amount of snow....power outages were a common occurrence for long periods of time and it took much longer to get roadways and homes cleared. So people tended to stock up pre-storms! And that still carries true today....along with making sure our cell phones, tablets & laptops are fully charged. I purchased a battery operated radio a couple of years ago...to keep updated in the event of a power outage.
See? We can always chat about the weather! And...the current temp, as I type...sits at -20 below....with a windchill of -27 C. It's been cold for the past couple of days...but it will have to warm up to snow. So...there is that good news.
Despite the cold....Liesel and I did a bit of retail therapy and browsing...she's not a huge fan of shopping...but it's good to get her out and about since it's too cold to go for our walks.
Liesel spotted a new toy she was very excited about...not that there's a toy shortage in her toy box!
I could not resist picking up this statue for my nephew & his wife...who have two French Bulldogs! They have recently moved from Ontario & currently building a new home in Nova Scotia. One of their beloved Frenchies had surgery last week...and sadly lost her left eye! Daisy already required extensive back surgery (twice) when they resided in Ontario....and thankfully fully recovered.
The eye loss was due to an ulcer...which may have been the result of an injury while playing with her brother Dozer. Daisy is a very rugged, rough & tumble kind of gal...she loves to wrestle and play. She is currently recuperating from surgery (albeit it wearing a cone to protect the eye)...and doing amazing. I couldn't pass up on this....with only one available!!
Please keep Daisy & her family in your thoughts and prayers. We are a family of dog lovers...if that was not evident...they are very important members of our families.
It was tempting to pick up this Rae Dunn bowl for Liesel.....had it been smaller! Good heavens..she could swim in this bowl! But it is so cute....
And in keeping with the dachshund goodness...how about this adorable mug..and socks!! The were a set..an adorable mug...and socks! There was a time they would have gone in my cart...but we have an abundance of dachshund mugs...and dachshund everything.
I thought this little sectional was perfect size for a small space! Not everyone lives in a mega-mansion with huge rooms...and finally they are making furniture for those with smaller rooms and condos! It was the cushions too that I fell in love with!! (pun intended).
And this chair...the prettiest shade of green. Hard to capture in a photo...they also had two of them...and they are gorgeous. The legs aren't red btw...that is wrap to protect the mahogany stained legs....
And Valentine goodies are making their annual appearance! How about these gorgeous heart shaped baking dishes?
Oh I wanted to pick this up for grand baby! How adorable is this little crate & puppy set? The tag stated it was for visits to the vet! The age range was older than she is so I didn't purchase it. As well, her fur brother, Benson would have torn the stuffed toy to shreds. All plush toys need to be kept out of his paws!
I love that Liesel can tag along with me to stores that allow dogs...and Home Sense is just one of many that allows them! The list of stores is growing...and we are very happy to see that. We would never leave her unattended in our vehicle. If she can't come in, she stays home or one of us stay in the car with her.
I have a couple of small clothing orders on the way....Joe Fresh was having an amazing sale on sleep pants..and with Covid and staying home more....one can never have to many sleep pants!
Have an awesome day....maybe if they talk enough about this storm....it will miss us altogether! Wishful thinking....
